So, the Israelis just pulled off a brilliant military operation 10-20 years in the making as only they can do as master chess players, but yet they allowed their countrymen to be attacked for hours on October 7th before a response was mustered?
October 7th should be seen as part of the overall operation to expand the fight to Iran and its proxies. Sacrifices were made to expand the war beyond the shackles placed by Washington and Obama.
If you go back to Project for a New American Century in 1998, the neocon think tank argued that expanding American military might to a truly world posture after the post-Cold War contraction could take 30 years short of "a catalyzing event like Pearl Harbor." Three years later, 9/11 happened and wars were prosecuted in multiple Middle Eastern Countries.
October 7 was that catalyzing event. Government has no qualms about breaking some eggshells and its own citizens to make omelettes. Hard to believe the same government 10 steps ahead of its adversaries with blowing up pagers and luring layers of top brass into bunker death traps last week could really fumble that bad on October 7. Nope, ground was given to take more ground that otherwise would not have been possible.
Similarly, to borrow from Bill Cooper, if you believe the most sophisticated military intelligence apparatus in the history of the world could not find Osama Bin Laden but "one jerkoff CNN reporter with a camera crew" could walk into his tent and interview him, you've "got to be one of the stupidest jerks who ever walked the face of the earth." Cooper was predicting a terrorist attack on his program "The Hour of the Time" in 2000 that would be blamed on OBL, and perhaps not coincidentally Cooper was killed in 11/01 in a shootout with local Az law enforcement who lured him out of his house posing as loitering riff raff on his property.
